The Problem with POD Research
If you’ve ever tried to compare print-on-demand suppliers, you know the pain:
- Endless clicking through supplier catalogs
- Broken UX - SPAs that break ctrl+click, login walls hiding products
- No easy comparison - manually copying prices to spreadsheets
- Hidden costs - shipping prices buried 5 clicks deep
We built POD Benchmark to fix this.
What We’re Building
Think of it as PCPartPicker for Print-on-Demand.
One place to:
- Browse products across Gelato, Printful, Prodigy and more
- Filter by price, fulfillment region, print method, fabric weight
- Compare products side-by-side
- Calculate profit margins before you commit
Early Days
We’re just getting started. Right now we’re focused on:
- Building scrapers for major POD suppliers
- Creating a unified product database
- Designing filters that actually matter to sellers
If you’re a POD seller frustrated with the current state of product research, you’re in the right place.
More updates coming soon.
